Our Story

Our journey begins on the land of the Salt River, a place our ancestors cultivated, traded, and built communities for generations. Inspired by these roots, we founded Native Ground Coffee to carry that same spirit of craftsmanship, connection, and community into the present day.

What began as a simple idea to share coffee that reflects our heritage has evolved into a movement. Each bag of coffee we produce is a story of self-determination, cultural preservation, and resilience.

We are proud to represent Native people in the modern marketplace, not as relics of the past but as innovators, creators, and storytellers shaping the future.

Whether you’re from here or discovering us for the first time, every sip of Native Ground Coffee invites you to connect with something deeper, the land, the people, and the story that continues.

Our Vision

To awaken connection through every cup.
Native Ground Coffee exists to bring people together, our Native communities, our allies, and all who value culture, craftsmanship, and respect for the land.

We envision a world where our people’s stories are not forgotten, but celebrated in everyday moments, in homes, workplaces, and gatherings across the land. A world where Native excellence and tradition stand side by side with innovation and progress.

Our vision is to grow more than a coffee company. We’re growing a movement, one that honors our ancestors, uplifts our people, and reminds the world that we are still here, strong and grounded.
